comfortable and lovely and simple. i like the flirty bits of colour peeking out from the black. the first picture is my favorite. as a fellow wearer of turbans, headwraps and other accoutrement of the noggin, i applaud her!!!! brava!!!

She’s got some stuff going on IN her head and ON her head. The stuff ON her head is so original, what do you even call it? It goes well with her overall gypsy look. Perhaps she is or she comes from true gypsys. The mood IN her head appears playful and dark and introspective. I like all the pics, she’s updated the allover black look with bits of color.

Are you and Garance trying to start a turban revolution?! DON’T YOU DARE!

This lady’s unusual looks make the outfit work almost in a tarot-card-reading chic kind of way. But a turban is not a toy. It’s not to be considered lightly or messed about with. If you wear it you must commit and if you commit you better be able to pull that shit off otherwise you’ll look seriously ridiculous.

She looks great. Calfornia? I’m not sure either, but definitely a great retro-chic look (and not trashy retro either). Her choice of fabrics and colors make her look nmore than one-dimensional. It’s not just an outfit, more like a well thought out musical arrangement in clothing. Great perspective on this woman, BTW.

Oh, I can see the California. (c: She looks like she’s had a go in the vintage/thrift shops and made her own look. She’s not taking anything – including fashion – so seriously that she has to meet others’ expectations of how she should look.

She’s quite pretty, LOVE her eyebrows, But my real concern is this headline… California Girl? I am sitting smack dab in the Silicon Valley currently, and there is no way anyone here would describe that as anything close to Californian style. In fact, no where in Cali do people dress this way. So even though i think she is fabulous, and even if she is Californian…. she definitely does not dress like one. I’m not saying we all look like “Hugh Hefner barbie dolls” but we do have a certain casualness/hippie/urbaness that is very… well for lack of a better word, our own.

i’m speculating that she is originally from California. and you can find pretty much any style represented here on our mythical Spanish isle. our television exports may portray us all as surfers and plastic surgery queens, and indeed those looks may appear to dominate in our seemingly bottomless suburbs, but if you know where to look we have it all.

Hmmm, I guess Silicon Valley Geneeeee has never ventured up to the artsy parts of San Francisco or the East Bay, where this stylish soul would fit right in. Go see dance or experimental theater in a small venue in the Mission, or go to an art opening, and this is indeed California style. Just not mainstream.

Silicon Valley isn’t representative of where I lived in So Cal for over twenty five years. Nor is it representative of the streets of San Francisco, Hollywood, Orange Co, or San Diego that I knew and loved in my travels up and down the coast. Silicon Valley is very conservative. Get out and live a little. Go to the clubs. Go to the bookstores. You’ll see. Even the IE can get pretty interesting.

I would pick her for being from somewhere Huntington Beach to as far North as Long Beach or anywhere inbetween.

Geneeee, you need to get out of Silicon Valley, girl. San Francisco is just a turban’s throw away from you. Silver Lake, Hollywood…. Personal style doesn’t always come to you, sometimes you’ve got to go to it.

While hers is not a common look (even in Paris) she would fit right into many neighborhoods in San Francisco, Oakland and L.A. Hell, even Pasadena – home of the Rose Queen!

There are plenty of people in California with great personal style it’s just that the celebrity culture that California is associated with makes it look like everyone is a wannabe Lindsey Lohan/Ed Hardy loving/Uggs wearing/fake tan abusing/shallow/vain/insipid fashion victim.

I like the look, a bit Anais Nin and Pris in the twenties. But i don’t like her eyebrows, sorry, nor her shoes. Really fancy new shoes would lift the whole lady up a lot.Worn out shoes is a No No even how beautiful you are,
